Fusion power ain’t there yet though, bad example?

GreyEyedGhost@piefed.ca 3 weeks agoFusion power is based on the aeolipile and work by Marie Curie. Just because you don’t see the all the incremental steps connecting those devices doesn’t mean they aren’t there.

Fusion power isn’t commercially practical. We could make a working fusion plant right now. It would suck and provide almost no power, but we could make one. And the difference between the one we can make today that barely works and isn’t useful and one that would be useful will be some number of additional incremental steps between where we are today and when that would work. Which is exactly the point. And your attitude of, well we aren’t using it today, so nothing has actually been done, is what I’m criticizing, so thanks for making the point even more obvious.

Wow, that’s not my attitude at all, I said ‘not there yet’, I’m sorry you can’t read bro

That’s like saying the wheel was invented thousands of years ago…you know what I’m talking about and are just being pedantic about it.

Once upon a time, that giant invented the wheel.
